My TripAdvisor Review No.531: Rogers Pass Discovery Centre, BC, Canada.

Like A Museum Visit.


There is a Visitor Information Centre here, which has a good display of stuffed wildlife found in the region, as well as information about the history of the Pass. The taxidermist had done an excellent job of stuffing the animals and the displays were almost life like.

In addition there is a lot of information about the history and construction of the Trans-Canadian Highway and the Canadian Pacific Railway, both of which traverse through the Rogers Pass. Many lives were lost due to avalanches during the construction, and to this day there is always threat of avalanches. You will find a couple of artillery guns stationed at the site, to be used whenever there is a threat of an avalanche.

There is a large and clean public washroom, but no coffee or snacks shop. There is a large rest area with plenty of parking space.
